CREDOC also invites
applications from UCL Junior Researchers
(post-doctoral fellows and graduate students) to its Small Grants Scheme
which supports groups who wish to explore common research interests related to
the dynamics of civilisation.

About CREDOC

CREDOC seeks to
understand the social phenomenon of 'civilisation' and to challenge the role it
is being made to play in the modern world. ‘Civilisation’ describes a social
phenomenon greater than the nation. It has been identified by materials,
languages, institutions and habits that are spread over time yet remain linked
to one another as an integrated system. Civilisation appears on the map of
modern political debate, whether in international policy (where it is used to
build transnational political structures) or in the popular idea of a 'clash of
civilisations'. Yet what is a civilisation? How do civilisations form, develop,
endure and decay? And why does civilisation matter so much to us now?
